Buddhist Hymn: Lotus Seeds

Lotus Seeds
Music & Lyrics by: Hong Teik Leong
Performed by: Boddhicitta Group
============================


Like the seeds of the Lotus, we are
With the sunshine and rain we'll grow
Standing virtuously above the muddy water
soon a pure white lotus we shall be


The pure nature in us,
He realized with the Dharma
he shines the Path
Carefully and patiently, to us He shows the way.


Like the seeds of the Lotus, we are
With the sunshine and rain we'll grow
Standing virtuously above the muddy water
soon a pure white lotus we shall be


Chorus:
-----------

A great Teacher to us He is
With love and kindness He guides us
Gone are the impurities
One by one perfect Buddhas we shall be


(Repeat Chorus)

Hi,...This is Hong TeikLeong....I wrote this songs about 24 years ago when I was still in Singapore. ...it was part of the mission given to us to write more hymns in English as proposed by Ven.Dhamika from Australia during one of our Singapore Polytechnic Buddhist Society Meditation Camp. The inspiration for this song came during one of the night ..when it was all nice and quiet, at about 3am. Nice to know that it is still serving its purpose. May all be well and happy always!
